I think rexxit is the catalyst to get the platform ready. I don't think rexxit is a one and done thing. It's gonna be more of a constant trickle, and lemmy is in a very good place to absorb more users. I browsed /r/all today, and saw many comments of people saying the frontpage sucks because there's no content. Spez might like to pretend there's no impact to reddit, but there's certainly going to be a big impact at least in the near term.

Just make sure to go back in a day or two to make sure your comments/posts stay deleted. Reddit restored all my posts/comments that I edited using Power Delete Suite back to their original content.

That’s any interesting idea. Curious to see if it would work.

May be they already realize it, meaning, they saw all the popular communities already created here, and would much rather stay there as mods.

I didn't know api changes means 3rd party apps no longer can show nsfw content. Nobody's going to pay a subscription and not be able to see stuff that they can see on the official app. Looks like reddit is giving all 3rd party app developers a shitty deal whichever way you cut it.

Yeah I wouldn't have ever signed up for lemmy if this api thing hadn't come about. This is my first fediverse experience. I was pissed at reddit, but now I don't care about reddit one way or another. Lemmy has gained enough users to sustain itself even if there is no more mass migration. There is an active community here that will help lemmy grow organically over time.

I don't think anybody can say beehaw is in any way representative of lemmy.ml politics. As far as I can see, it's the farthest thing from lemmy.ml or any other politics on either spectrum. I actually think beehaw is a fine example of how independent different instances can be.

I don't think it's anything to feel bad about. Reddit uses the user data for their revenue. It's only fair we get some use out of reddit. None of the content is created by reddit. It is/was/will be created by people like us. We can stop contributing our knowledge/opinions anymore on reddit, but we don't have to feel bad for finding solutions to our problems posted in reddit. At this point, I'm considering reddit like a nature trail. Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints. In reddit's case, I won't even leave a footprint, and I'll take what I need if I find it.

I'm seeing the same thing

Their posts don't seem to deviate much from their usual posts. Target achieved, I guess?

[–] feetongrass 86 points 2 years ago (18 children)

Is there a reason why they're doing this? Blackout's not even political. They just want to be contrarian to everything.

I like to see kids related stuff, but I always hesitate to show anything I find there to my little daughter because the community is called 'kidsarefuckingstupid'. I know that's a tongue in cheek name, but I would like to see communities like /c/kidsbeingkids , /c/kidsbeingsmart, /c/kidsbeingderps, etc. I'm not a prude, but I would like to be able to share stuff without looking like I hate kids. I can help moderate the community(ies).

 

I don’t remember the name of these plants, but I’m betting you people can identify no problem. They were both bought at the same time but one of them is dying. It was initially on the other side of the door. They thought maybe the sun was killing it and moved it to the shade, but it doesn’t seem to me improving. Is it gone? Can it be brought back? Please advise.

 

Didn’t expect to see furry butthole on my screen without warning
